Andrew Kornfeld, a representative of a Californian rehab centre specialising in opioids addiction, who was found with medication on his persons at Prince 's house when the star died, should be "immune" from prosecution his attorney has claimed.

Minnesota based attorney William Mauzy - who is representing the Kornfeld family - made a statement to the press on Wednesday regarding his client's involvement in Prince's tragic death.

Mauzy confirmed that Andrew was one of only three people at Prince's Paisley Park property when the singer was discovered unconscious in a lift and that he had made the 911 emergency call.

He also said that Kornfeld had medication intended for the star in his backpack.

Mauzy claimed he believed the Good Samaritan 911 law, which encourages overdose witnesses to seek medical help by exempting them from arrest and criminal prosecution, would mean his client would not be granted immunity from any charges.

He said: "It is my belief that the Good Samaritan 911 law - providing immunity for people who make a 911 emergency call are to receive immunity for any medication, any controlled substances found at the scene - will provide statutory immunity to Andrew relating to the medications that were found in his backpack at the scene."

It is unknown if Police had been looking to bring any criminal charges against Mr Kornfeld following their investigation into Prince's death at Paisley Park home on April 21.

He explained that the pills had been intended for Prince's Minnesota doctor: "Although Andrew had in his possession small pills, those pills were to be delivered to the Minnesota doctor. There were no pills or any type of medication given to Prince by Andrew or by Howard."

"Those pills were taken into possession by the Carver County Sheriff."

Describing the events of the morning, Mauzy continued: "When he arrived Prince was not available. They went looking for Prince and they couldn't initially find him. Staff represenatives had apparently found him in an elevator unconscious one of staff members started screaming.

"Andrew heard the screams and went to the elevator where he saw that Prince was unconscious."

A cause of death has yet to be established though it is widely believed the star was suffering from addiction to painkillers.

The statement appeared to be confirmed by the news Dr Howard Kornfeld - an opioid expert who runs rehab centre Recovery Without Walls in Califronia - had been due to fly to Minnesota on April 22 to meet with the singer.

However, Mr Mauzy admitted it was too late for the singer, who died on the morning of April 21.

He said: "Dr. Kornfeld was never able to meet Prince or talk to Prince he was sadly not able to arrive in time to help Prince."

Clearly unfamiliar with the area and still trying to get the actual address confirmed, he then became emotional as he described the scene, dramatically stating: "the person is dead here" before adding "and the people are just distraught."

Kornfeld had taken an over-night flight to Minnesota from San Francisco after Prince's representative made a desperate call to his father, Dr. Howard Kornfeld - a national authority on opioid addiction expert - on April 20, claiming they were dealing with a "grave medical emergency".

He was asked to clear his schedule and immediately fly on a "lifesaving mission" to meet the singer and as he was unable to, sent son Andrew instead with plans to arrive in Minneapolis the following day.

Speaking on behalf of the Kornfelds, he said: “The plan was to quickly evaluate his health and devise a treatment plan. The doctor was planning on a lifesaving mission.”
